SUNDAY STROLL - GRADUATION

My Sunday Stroll today took me to my daughter's graduation from college today, the fourth child to graduate, and two more children in another decade or so.

The day was warm and the sky was cloud covered, giving us a respite from the hot sun. The sun did come out in all its glory but there was shade under the trees if one needed a break from its rays, like the little children who also needed to listen to all the long speeches in comfort.

Most all the family was in attendance! ( We miss you Chuck!)

The message of the day:

One person can make a difference. Everyone should give it a try.

( see the tall blonde at the top of the hill at the left)

People were not the only ones interested in the festivities. Something clouded the sky above my head and came to rest in the crook of the tree and stayed for quite awhile.

And one of the speeches had to stop for a moment as a flock of Canadian geese circled the skies, around and around above the graduates as if to say

When sitting, just sit.When eating, just eat.When walking, just walk.When talking, just talk.When listening, just listen.When looking, just look.When touching, just touch.When thinking, just think.When playing, just play.And enjoy the feeling of each moment and each day.

Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.- Margaret B. Runbeck

May the Sun bring you new energy by day.

May the Moon softly restore you by night.

May the Rain wash away your worries.

May the Breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.
